It's November

2 whole months and nothing from me! I wish my blog would call when I forget to write. So much has happened... I don't know where to begin. The housewarming was a success, my sister and niece didn't show up but my mom came and stuff.

Dunno if I wrote but we got our fridge.. which is totally sweet!

Still haven't gotten a stove but Rob got my chair ordered yesterday!
One last thing: less than three weeks til this!


I'm really pooped so I'm done for now!

So!

It's been a few weeks, so sorry, we've been busy moving in! We're pretty much unpacked now. Things are getting into shape for the housewarming party this weekend. Hopefully, if Rob doesn't kill someone today at work, we'll be buying a bed tonight for the guest room and my mom's visit this weekend. We haven't done much to scream about in buying but we're living comfortably. Still need to get a stove which should be soonish, if we find the right one. I'm totally taking my time cuz I haven't found anything that screams "we will own this" like the fridge did. We'll see, I guess.

This weekend I've gotta spend preparing for the family and housewarming peoples! Hopefully all will turn out good! Rob removed the eyesore of a playset in the backyard last weekend and has high hopes of finding out what that firepit thing looks like under the ivy!

Guess what?

We're homeowners! Aren't you excited? We prolly won't have a phone for a while cuz we found we only had 1 jack in the foyer and none anywhere else so we won't be able to do much til we get someone in there. Frontier wants like 70 bucks for the first jack and 60 bucks an hour each additional jack. Ugh. Oh well, we'll figure something out. We have to do it, not like we can live without a phone, right? But if anyone reading this knows of a phone installing type person in the Rochester, NY area, feel free to put in a comment. Considering I can't get my email unless I go to someone elses (not work's) computer, I think that it's gonna be very hard to get in touch with me. Guess there's the cell phone, but I'm not posting that here :P

We hadn't caulked the tub by the time we passed out last night so we had to go back to the old apt to go shower and get dressed but we had plenty of time and we made it to Tops so I could get lunchable type stuffs since we hadn't thought about that (or most of the stuff we should have been thinking about. My beautiful moving system shot to pieces because Rob packed my notebook and marker. Cuz that needed to be packed, right? I should have taken the whole day off yesterday and managed, things would be easier to find. Oh well. Tonight we work on dishes and laundry. We being me, of course, since he has to work tonight til 8 or 9 and I'm only working til 6. Wonder if he got anything done from 8:30 to 11:30? We'll see, I suppose. I'll try to keep ya updated on where we are as I can. Directv satellite should be in the mail today :)

It's not even 6am...

and I'm prolly too damn excited to sleep and the closing isn't til Monday. Didn't I mention? Oh! We got a closing date :) On Monday, at noon, Rob will be signing his life away (all cept the part I own :)) and then we get the electricity turned on and then.... MOVERS! At 2:30pmish, a flock of movers (that's how they come) will descend upon my tiny apt and carry away all my junk to a bigger house we can't wait to mess up! :)

We've still got a fair bit to pack and I almost feel I'm sort of lingering because I love to pack so much and we have to stay home most of the weekend to insure we don't spend our closing money which we STILL don't have a total for. That's really really scary to me. That's prolly scarier to me. Anyway, time to go help someone on the mud since I'm up anyway.

ciao for now!

Still waiting!

Still waiting for a closing date. Packing our butts off. Trying to plan but what can you plan without a date to move? Less than 2 weeks left and no plans! This is driving me crazy. Rob's parents want to hire movers for us. I'm not too sure about it. I am too compulsive obsessive to let other people touch my crap. We'll see. Otherwise, we're ready when they are. We're hoping late this week or early next week since that's when Rob will have off and time to do all the work (and hopefully without nagging!) There's absolutely nothing they can ask us to do, i think!

This week in House News

Well, not a whole lot to report this week.  We still don't know what's going on.  They still want Rob to liquidate his 401k and I still don't want him to but it looks like it's the only way to appease them so we might have to.  Everyone else seems to think we're buying this house but us.  The realtor and the seller are working to get it fixed up, our attorney is getting us a closing date, and our insurance agent is writing up the homeowner's insurance.  We are packing but we only have less than 3 weeks left on our lease here so we're moving somewhere by the 15th, who knows where tho :P.   Nothing new for the house this week but I put some stuff on the amazon list that was little stuff I'd like.  I still have a bit more tho. 

Still in love with the chair from Raymour and Flanagan.  Still need a stove and fridge.  So nothing new there :)  I sound whiny but that's cuz I'm worrying.

That's all she wrote.

Oh yeah

I wanted to mention that when Dimitri died we snuck over to the new house and buried him in the backyard. So now we really gotta buy this house!

update for today:

It's Weds. I don't know what Rob did today but yesterday he was a good boy and paid most of his old debt and made arrangements for the rest. That means he's prolly gonna have kickass credit in a year or two.. but for now we'll settle with buying our house. Hopefully we'll get the landlord reference by friday and all the other riffraff for this and we can supposedly have a closing in a week... a week to my bank means 5 tho so take that as you want.

Today Rob was supposed to call people and get a copy of the downpayment check and all that good stuff. There's no doubt about it, M&T bank sucks ass. Big wet hairy ass.

On the plus side, Rob's mom found a chair like my sister in law's and it's not too expensive so we might splurge on that in a few weeks :) We'll see *crosses fingers*.

Rob wants 2 pugs now.. he thinks we need a Murphy to go with the Matilda I want. I'm not convinced!

that's all for now!
